The ladies responded nobly to the call
for aid to the Flower Festival in our last
issue. and Monday morning found many
willing hands at work, under the super
intendence Of Misses Joslin and Bryan,
and the result of their labors brought
MANY word of praise and commenda-
tion when the fair opened, on Tuesday
evening. Much credit is due to Miss
Mvrick, Miss Bryan, Miss Hardy, Mis-
Baker and Mr.. Massey, who went to Los
Angeles and arranged the booth In
manner which has won many golden
words of praise from the Los Angeles
press aud the visitors to the Festival.
Let us keep up the good work one week
more, and in due time Orange will reap
the reward.
On Saturday last Messrs. Culver.
Chubb, and Mrs. Clark effected the pur'
chase OF the Orange Hotel corner, the
price paid being $4,000. They also
purchased Mr.. Gatzke's lease OF the
building, with the furniture, etc. The
old hotel is now closed, and will prob
ably soon be torn down and fine brick
block il talked of to take its place. 1t
is one of the very best business locations
in town, and when the old building
which has so long proved San eyesore"-.
is taken down, it will be matter OF
congratulation to Orangeites.
There seems to be some considerable
reason to believe that the red scale bug
is dying out. The orchards that have
been badly affected, and hich, early in
the season, looked as though fire had
blasted them. are rapidly recovering,
ami in many cases the new growth has
almost completely hid the dead twigs,
and the trees are becoming sound and
healthy. If indications are to be relied
on, the 'redscale day" is about over,
and it is now to be hoped that the pest
is dying out, and will disappear. 1t is
yes too early, however, to place too much
faith ia their taking off. - but there are
certainly good grounds to hope that the
red .scale will disappear.

It NAV not be out OF place in connection
with the history of the late Henry Ward
Beecher, to mention an affecting incident
ia his life which may not have faded from
the remembrance of some of our older
citizens. In 1860 OF 81. beautiful octo
room girl, raised and owned by prominent
citizen of this county, Mr.. John Church
man. attempted to make her escape North.
She was arrested and brought back. Her
master then determined to sell her, and
found a ready purchaser in another eiti-
zen. Mr.. Fred Scheffer. Shortly after this,
the later owner was impressed with the
belief that the girl intended to make an
other effort to so North, the first opportu-
nifty that presented. To meet the emer-
gency and save trouble Mr.. Scheffer pro-
posed to Sarah that she should go North and
raise enough money from the abolitionists
to purchase herself. This proposition she
eagerly accepted and icing furnished with
means by Mr.. S. to pay her fare. she
started. A few days after her arrival in
New York. she was taken to Mr.. Beecher,
and On the following Sabbath morning was
escorted to his pulpit in Brooklyn. She was
a,woman Ct commanding presence, rounded
features and winning face, and long, jet
| black hair ard ofcourse, under the circum-
stances, attracted most eager attention
and interest from the large and wealthy
congregation assembled. She was re-
quested to unloosen her hair, and as she
did so it fell in glistening, waves over her
spotless white. her face crimsoned and
form heaving under the excitement of the
occasion, she stood in that august presence
a very Venus in form and feature. For
a moment Mr.. Beecher remained by her
side without utterng word. until the
audience was wrought up to high pitch
Of curiosity and excitement. And then in
his impressive way he related her story
and her mission. Before he concluded his
pathetic recital the vast audience was a
sea Of connection. Tears ran down cheeks
unused to the melting mood, eager curios-
| ity and excitement pervaded the whole
congregation, and as the pastor announced
that he wanted 50 900 for the girlbefore him
to redeem her promise to pay for her free
dom, costly jewelry and trinkets and notes
and specie piled in in such rapid success
sion, that in less time than it takes to
write this down, enough and much more
was contributed than was necessary to
meet the call that had been ssmade. What
became of Sarah after this remarkable
introduction to the Tabernacle Congrega-
ton, and the sensational incidents con
nected with it, we never learned. But the
incident itself illustrated the broad hu.
manly of the great preacher and the ten
der sympathy he felt for the humble and
oppressed.
